Tom: B
B
[Verse 1]
B
When the world speaks
B
It rattles through me like an antique
B
Or maybe it rings like an old bell
B
Wishing us some kinda farewell
B
A weight in the window, a beacon
B
The batten down
B
End of the season
B
Lullaby blue
E
It is two doves
B
Shot in the heat of the summer
And truer than words
[Chorus]
B E
We're a long way, long way
B
From the best of the best of times
B C#5 B
[Verse 2]
B B
There’s a broken clock tower out in the ocean
B
Holding me under the table
B
Tether me down like a cradle
B
Drowning me out
B E
With an amen barrel ahead
F#
And an auld lang syne
B
And everything’s fine
[Chorus]
B E
We're a long way, long way
B E
From the best of the best of times
B E
A long way, long way
B
From the best of the best of times
B C#m G#m E B F#
B E B
[Verse 3]
B
And I wonder
B
Whether our days are unnumbered
B
If one is the same as another
B
Whether we mistook the colours
B
For the real thing
B
If we'll ring out
B F#
Brimming and broken and somehow
B
Truer than blue
B
And then come to
B
Pulled from the wreck
F#
In the day break
B
All equal and safe
[Chorus]
B E
We're a long way, long way
B E
From the best of the best of times
B E
A long way, long way
B
From the best of the best of times
